From: Fabrizio J Bonsignore on 3 Aug 2010 21:08 What they have is psychosis, their *cultures* can qualify as psychosis, there is no immortal ancient secret they can sell, what they sell is coprophgay and cannibally and diseases, crimes and perhaps the consequences of sexual practices that have some effect, but do not grant neither immortality nor blessings nor superpowers nor power nor are a match to the products of modern science and technology. They have nothing old to teach that we do not know already or can learn and understand better with theory, formal experimentation, modeling and the tools of modern technology, without falling in void empiricisms, they can offer only some experienced practice only of their own myths. This is not Middle Earth, this is planet Earth, we already dumped those ancient ideas to the realm of tales! The secrets you look for are all everyday, common informations: who did what to whom and where, where is whom, who has what, such pieces of information, and most can be called a crime whether retained or exposed, depending on circumstances. Insider information if you like. If you were sold one such Big Secret or are waiting for one, it is a sham, a scam, a confusion, an abuse, a trap or a test and it is not worth the while and out of context. Real valuable *secrets* have other form and content but are all of quite modern inception and value, like business opportunities, production methods, industrial formulas, product recipes, enterprise plans, financial decisions... and some are unlawful to reveal while others can only be used within its context, but none of them is the product of milenarian minds or superbeings or secret societies carrying over the knowledge of superior beings thousands of years old. If it is so valuable... why not use it itself rather than sell it? Why not go through a marketing campaign or offer it in a book to be sold by the thousands and become a best seller? Those supersecrets end up falling in the category of trivia once known! Or are just clever tricks anyone may find if really interested and practicing, expertise, but nothing so worth the while that you... If it is the location of somebody you need to meet, that is no secret at all, it is extortion! Or invitation to become an accomplice. If you are not supposed to know something maybe you are better off forgetting it than trying to use it, and in no moment you can assume good faith on the party threatening to reveal it to you. And even if it was one of those secrets it would remain the issue of testing it if it is true, so why go through any pressure or anxiety or servilism to acquire it? The source might even be a legitimate one that does not consider it a secret! If it is to acquire wealth, it is either a crime or is subjected to normal economic laws. If it is to acquire body related advantages, it is either a risky form to get sick or sicken somebody else or why not ask a physician? Probably it is a secret because you lack the education, no more. No such secret can resist investigation to reveal it, no supertechnology can be transmitted in a few words. And all those informations can be acquired or researched in any modern institution without recurring to the ploy of Ancient Chinese, Indian, African, Arabian, Lemurian, Atlantidean secrets... This leaves us with typical, modern, secret-service-like secrets and criminal secrets, or with very temporary and specific secrets that revealed constitute a breach of privacy and would even be revealed if you simply ask! You do not have to believe in mysticism or occult or esoteric **techniques** and sources to find personal secrets either! They are revealed by such prosaic sources as paparazzi, spies, direct witnesses, relatives, gossipers... nothing otherwordly or exotic. Probably you already know it from somebody else only did not think of IT regarding THAT other person. But... of course if what is being offered is The Secret... if you are excited about being revealed The Secret... you already fell in the suspension of disbelief dynamic and it will not matter the source nor the content of IT, but just the fact that it is A Secret, and saying it is an old, ancient, lost, Chinese, Indian, African, Arab, Oriental secret only adds to the flavor but does not enhance its value, only the selling of it. Unless it is fiction, in which case you are welcome to believe it and enjoy the plot. What is not acceptable is to go around pushing others because OTHERWISE you would not be revealed The Secret and even more to justify it because it is an OLD, ANCIENT, EXOTIC secret only for the priviledged ones...
